Acoustic waterproof structure for electronic devices
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11924607B2) discloses an acoustic waterproof structure designed to protect electronic devices from water damage while maintaining sound quality. The structure includes a casing, a waterproof breathable film, a stretchable material piece, and a rigid supporting piece. The waterproof breathable film covers the casing sound hole and is sealed to the casing, while the stretchable material piece abuts against the film. The rigid supporting piece, connected to an acoustic device, extrudes the stretchable material piece and features through holes for ventilation. A mounting groove on the casing houses the film and material piece, ensuring a secure and waterproof seal at the bottom of the groove.
Furthermore, the patent details additional features such as the use of closed-cell foam for the stretchable material piece, waterproof double-sided adhesive tape for connecting the film and supporting piece to the casing, and dispensing glue for fixing the supporting piece to the casing. The structure may also include a bracket for further protection, with a cavity for the acoustic device and a bracket sound hole for communication. The innovative design of this acoustic waterproof structure not only safeguards electronic devices from water intrusion but also ensures optimal sound performance, making it a valuable solution for various applications in the electronics industry.
